A fcusy fall sea6n will open-for
tlie Omaha Chamber of Commerce
tl73 week. Seven ty-nvj. cotnmil
tefi dealing in.every subject from
city planning to Afnericauization
will get tnto action. The executive
commrttee of the chamber1 will meet
Tuesday to outline the activities. A
brief outline of the proposals has
been drawn up by Robert S. Trim
ble, president; Paul W. Kuhns,
chairman of the executive commit
tee, and - Commissioner J. David
Larson. .
Air transportation is one of the
problems which ,-vvill be uppermost
the coming year. In the worth of
' the report, "it will only beV few
years until every city will be re
quired to maintain a municipal. land
ing field and complete facilities for
airplanes. It will be just as much
a municipal affair as maintaining
. . . i ir f
- streets ana inorougiuares ror com
merce; indeed, in the larger cities
it will be necessary, to have more
ihan one municipal landing place."

committee will make a survey of
traffic and pavement needs and pre

Encouragement of new business

the industrial and development bu

made to induce them to build. Men
with small capital will be placed in
touch with enterprises in which they
can take an interest.
Housing Solution.
The problem of housing and wel
fare of , employes also is to be
studied. The report' estimates the
replacement values of pre-war hous
ing at from 3Q. per cent to 60 per
cent increase, while renjals have in
creased froin 20 per cent to 40 per
cent Reference is made to the ne
ce'ssity of good housing to keen a
contented working class, and the t-
(ample of othcK communities where
'employers have backed housing
companies is cited.

To Keep Down Unrest.
The usual close relations with the

'all be taken up by the committees. ,
Passengers Who Missed
the Boat to States
Relayed One
flTonth. '
At Taku Harbor, Alaska, onie
where beyond Juneau, there vere 17t
employes of a cannery, who wanted '
to return to the states eyre day a few
weeks ago. The only boat -that
makes this point is the Admiral Wat
son, which touches at the various
pors beyond Juneau once a moyth
during the summer. , -' (
On this particular day i the 17 ex
pectant persons did not know of the
exact time of the arrival of the Wat-
son, "which was bound for Seattle.;
They wanted-to return, but were not
ready, and the boat could not" wait
for them; " They had to wait one
month in that dreary habitation for
the next trip of the Watson, when
they could return td the states. (
Mjsses Hermine Blessing and''
Alice West, Omaha school teachers,
witnessed the incident and were '
sorry for the group that wa"s left at
Taku. Miss Blessing related that
this incident was typical of the un
certainties of life in Alaska. "
Hankering to Return.
These teachers went to Alaska on
their summer vacation. They" took
passage on the Wason, which is a
freighter, and the only boat plying
as far, north as Anchorage and other
points 3,000 miles from Seattle.
The boat was laden "on the out
ward journey with steel balls used
in 'grinding ore a(jd on the home
ward passagc.it DrougiiBDacK canned
salmon. Thtre were 162 iir the crew,
142 cabin passenger and 42 in the
steerage. Miss Blessing related that
the tin cans in which the salmon Was
packed, attracted the boat's compass1
four degrees.
"'They say up there in laska that
when a person gets there once there
is. a hankering to return, but I was
not stricken with any desire to re
turn, aHiough there is much that is
interesting for the sightseer," said
Miss Blessing.
Monotony Causes Insanity.
"There are many sigrts of civiliza
tion iw spots, but tkere is so much
wijderness and so much that is primi
tive. We were told that there are
three sides to Alaska, inside, outside
ami Morningside. The third refers
to an asylum in Washington where
many persons who have Jived in
or tolpn fnr rpfnvprv fmm a
Worm of insanity which is said to be
ot a temporary nature.
"I was told that the loneliness and
monotony- of ife in that faraw)t
country causes this form of insan
ity, but of course many remain there
and prosper.
"During the homeward journey I
overheard a passenger ask the cap
tain if he remembered him. The pas
senger stated that the captain
brought him don to Morningside
ten years ago."

In Juneau, thepapital, the Omaha
travelers observed . that the streets
were paved with boards.' They saw

Miss Blessing stated. r

Speak it softly. Alaska is not
"dry," according to the common un

The problem of keeping hogs from
overeating in hot weather is a hard
one. Overloading is especially dan
gerous. The American farm bureau
federation has recently made a study
of conditions and urges shippers to
use every precaution in marketing
their Wgs during the summer. f
It is advised that not more than
the minimum l5ad, which 17,000
pounds for a single deck, 36-foot ear
be put 111 one car. It is peips
better to load according to the size
ot the hogs, and a good'guide to fol
low is to fill each car with 130 to
135 hogs weighing 100 pounds; 95
to 100 weighing 150 pounds; -82
to 85 weighing 200 pounds, and 70
to 72 weighing 250 pounds each.
Another cause of losses is over
feeding before loading. This shuuld
be especially-guarded a.eainst in n t
weather. Hogs. ship much better and
fill well after tliev reach the niatk't

recommended bv ma"v shippe-s.
slope -should neVer be given after

Cleaning the cars and bedding
them with about two inches of sand
help greatly. Before loading the
hogs the sand should Ije sprinkled
with water. Avoid loading hogs

Answers to Last -Week's Questions.
1. full two-story house is' the
more advisable , under general con1-
'idittons, where two floors are-wantcd..
A bungalow, strictly speaking, is a
ntie-pDry house, thos-of two floors '
are semi-bungalows. The bungalow
t require special setting of tj-ees and
contour of lot, else it Iosqs its ef
fectiveness. For the room afforded
inside it is the most expensive type'
o house to build.
2. If v possible, fire-safe niaterial
should be used for1 the exteripr of 3
ftouse -brick, stone ox stucco For
goed looks in the colonial types per
haps the frame' house is the best.
Shingles for. the side walls are ad
visable only in rare instances for
reasons of appearance, cost of up
keep and because of climatic condi
tions. 3. The sun room, as its name in
dicates, always should be located to
ward the sun, not away from it. If
the sun room is used as an enclpsed
porch in summerawniugs easily and
cheaply make it comfortable. In
winter the sum room bathed in sun
shine is a highly desirable place.',
4. The lot without trees is more
easy to suit with a house-and gives
the owner the advantage of select
ing liis own shade and shrubbery,
besides" affording the maximum cf
sunlight which is so necessary to
health.
5. .The driveway may be built of
concrete blocks,' concrete cast vehi
cle ways, or 'of ordinary slag or
crushed stone.-. If the owner has a
lot of clinkers'Arom the furtiace they
can be used to advantage as the

7. If front windows, especially
those onHhe first floor, arc of .large
paites it is best to use platf glass;
if small, ordinary double American
iHass may be used. Double Amer

8. White finish for woodwork is
advisable only where there are no
small children. It is highly desira

to middle-west , farmers for years,
wilk do much toward stopping" the
leak in the producer s bucketrbotan-
lsts believe. There is probablyvno
better way to eradicate the Canada
Liistle than by continually cutting
the tops of the plant as soon as they
spring up. This eventually will kill
the roots that are extremely 'tough

With this, as well as all other
plants, the plant food is mmiufac

plant is finally destroyed. This
method is simple, practical, effective'
and the real secret of success in
fighting the thistle or any other
weed with similar root development.
If the thistle is aflowed to grow it
spreads rapidly. A single plant, if
allowed to go to seed, will be suffi
cient to spread the thistle over many
acres within a few years. -
Where thereaTe only a few plants
it may be desirable to use chemicals.
Flant experts have found carbolic
acid about the best and ' cheapest
remedy. , The tops should be cut off

fore the carbolic acid is applied.
Some squirt pure acid on the ex
posed end of the root with an ordi
n.iry machine oil can.
Such crops as sorghum, Sudan
grass, 'millet and hemp are effective
in smothering the thistle. Another
practice followed in heavily infested
areasxis to break the ground in July
